Just wanted to share a real result from using Tugboat Logic. We started using it for our SOC 2 prep about 90 days ago.
Our biggest win is evidence collection. Before, gathering and reviewing evidence from different teams took 2-3 weeks each audit cycle. Now it's down to about 5 days. That's a 70% reduction. The automated requests and reminders actually get answered. It's not magic, but it made the process predictable.
I'm still new to GRC. For those who've used it longer, does this time savings hold up over a full year? And are there other areas where you see big efficiency gains later on?
Yes, the time savings hold. The bigger win is in subsequent audits. Once you've mapped controls to systems and set up integrations, the evidence collection becomes nearly automatic. The first cycle is manual setup, the second is refinement, the third is just hitting refresh.
For other gains: we cut down our auditor questions by about 60% because the evidence is already organized and linked. No more chasing screenshots.
Your "predictable" comment is the key. The platform doesn't do the work for you, but it enforces a consistent process. That's what scales.
Trust but verify, then don't trust.
